Eventually we would like all our crates other than `bitcoin` to be able
to be used without an allocator. Currently, and during crate smashing,
this is not that useful because so much of the code comes from `bitcoin`
and relies on the availability of an allocator.
As an initial step, add the `alloc` feature to `addresses` , `base58`,
and `primitives`.
In order to to keep `--no-default-features` builds working make the
crates empty if the `alloc` feature is not enabled. This is a suboptimal
solution because the error messages users will get when they forget to
enable `alloc` will be confusing (eg something like primitives does not
contain Transaction). However our CI script (`run_task.sh`) expects
`--no-default-features` to build cleanly (as do I).
Some of our CI shell scripts are meant only to be sourced and not
run directly however they include an initial shebang line, implying that
they should be run.
Remove the shebang line from `crates.sh` and the various `test_vars.sh`
scripts. Add a `shellcheck` directive to inhibit the no-shebang warning.
Fix: #2764
Recently we re-wrote CI to increase VM level parallelism, in hindsite
this has proved to be not that great because:
- It resulted in approx 180 jobs
- We are on free tier so only get 20 jobs (VMs) at a time so its slow to run
- The UI is annoying to dig through the long job list to find failures
Have another go at organising the jobs with the main aim of shortening
total run time and making it easier to quickly see fails.
Re-write the `run_task.sh` script, notable moving manifest handling
to the workflow. Also don't bother testing with beta toolchain.
WASM Note
Removes the `cdylib` and `rlib` from the manifest patching during wasm
build - I do not know the following:
- Why this breaks on this PR but not on other PRs
- Why I can't get wasm test to run locally on master but PRs are passing
- What the `cdylib` and `rlib` were meant to be doing
This is the docs from: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html
* --crate-type=cdylib, #![crate_type = "cdylib"] - A dynamic system
library will be produced. This is used when compiling a dynamic library
to be loaded from another language. This output type will create *.so
files on Linux, *.dylib files on macOS, and *.dll files on Windows.
* --crate-type=rlib, #![crate_type = "rlib"] - A "Rust library" file
will be produced. This is used as an intermediate artifact and can be
thought of as a "static Rust library". These rlib files, unlike
staticlib files, are interpreted by the compiler in future linkage. This
essentially means that rustc will look for metadata in rlib files like
it looks for metadata in dynamic libraries. This form of output is used
to produce statically linked executables as well as staticlib outputs.
Add a new `base58` crate to the workspace and move the `bitcoin::base58`
module to it.
Done as part of crate smashing, specifically so that we can make `bip32`
into a separate crate.
